Kidriffic Events for June 21 – 23

I don’t think I mentioned this here but for 2 whole weeks my dh was in Afghanistan. Definitely not as long as the troops are deployed, but for a wife that didn’t marry a man in the armed forces it was ETERNITY! I’ve never been happier to see him than I was when he walked through the door this morning. And his daughter? She couldn’t stop giggling. It was the cutest, sweetest thing EVER!
